Case study

From AX 2012 to Dynamics 365, with the requirements written first.

The Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust set out to upgrade its ERP from Microsoft AX 2012, strengthening enterprise asset management and financial management for an aviation operation.

The brief

An upgrade is still a selection. It deserves the same evidence.

TAIT sought to upgrade its ERP, Microsoft AX 2012, to improve its enterprise asset management and financial management capability.

An upgrade within a vendor's own product line is the case where requirements work is most often skipped, on the assumption that continuity makes it unnecessary.

Avèro ran the assessment anyway — because the question is not whether the new version is better, but whether it meets what the trust actually needs.

What the work produced

The deliverables.

Current ERP assessment

A comprehensive assessment of the existing AX 2012 environment, establishing what it does today and where it falls short of the operation's needs.

Interactive discovery sessions

Virtual interactive discovery sessions to gather detailed requirements and expectations for the upgrade directly from the people who use the system.

Needs assessment report

A report setting out the findings from discovery, giving the trust a documented basis for the upgrade rather than an assumption of continuity.

Upgrade groundwork

The foundation for moving to Microsoft Dynamics 365 with strengthened enterprise asset management and financial management modules.

Where it stands

The project laid the groundwork for the upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 across enterprise asset management and financial management.

Why assess an upgrade

Staying with a vendor is a decision, not a default. Documenting the requirements means the trust can tell whether the new version actually closes the gaps — and hold it to that.
